Níall McLaughlin Architects will be speaking at the Architecture Big Event in Leicester on 1st October alongside Sir Peter Cook and Piers Taylor. The programme for the event at De Montfort University will include a range of activities exclusively for the school of architecture and will include a design charrette.
We have completed our housing project for the Peabody Trust in John Fisher Street in Whitechapel, London. 13 families now occupy the building. It was built on an empty site in Henry Derbyshire’s Peabody Estate from 1870. The building is made from brick with deep precast concrete reveals, framing large windows and balconies. It is a real pleasure to see the balconies occupied by plants, bikes and carpets; people hanging out the windows watching their children playing in the courtyard below.
